Special to the Observer
Pittsboro, Aug 11 -- Mr. John G. Rencher, one of Chathams best known citizens died today at 11 oclock after having suffered patiently for two years with a disease he knew to be incurable. Mr. Rencher was in his 70th year and had lived most of his life in Pittsboro. On account of failing health he retired from the active practice of law several years ago and since that time has been seldom seen on the streets. Mr. Rencher was endowed with rare intellectual attainments and was one of the most entertaining and pleasing conversationalist the writer has ever known. He was the only surviving son of Abraham Rencher, who represented this district in Congress from 1829 to 1840 and who was appointed minister to Portugal under President Tyler and Governor of New Mexico under President Buchanan.
Upon announcement of Mr. Rencher's death to the Superior Court, now is session, and upon motion of Major Halondon, the court adjourned in respect to his memory and it was ordered that the court in a body attend his funeral which will be from the Episcopal church tomorrow evening at 5 oclock.
Mr. Rencher fought throughout the war between the States and carried the scars of battle on his body till the day of his death. He had the bone in his right arm shattered in one of the battles of northern Virginia, leaving that member several inches shorter than the other.
The immediate members of the deceased's family are Mrs. Eva Winston of Franklinton, and Mrs. Sallie Anderson of New York
